A packed-bed reactor was established to study the effect of temperature on the controlled air oxidation (CAO) performance of a mixture of polypropylene and sawdust at a fixed feed gas flow rate. The reactor temperature was varied from 400 to 800 degrees C. Attention was focused on product distribution, compositions of liquid and gas products, and technical parameters. The chemical composition of the liquid products was analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The results indicated an obvious impact of the temperature on the described parameters. The increase in temperature led to the decrease in solid fraction and a convex shape curve for the gas yield as well as to a decrease of alkanes and alkenes, and favored the generation of oxygen-containing hydrocarbons. According to criteria of CAO conversion, the optimum temperature in the primary chamber was found to be 700 degrees C.
